I’ve never understood the Protestant predilection for rejecting the notion of life in the dearly departed. Put another way, what *do* they think life means, if not the ability to see and hear what’s happening on Earth, just as those alive *on* Earth?

It’s quite curious. It’s kind of like an amalgam of the historical Christian teaching of “communion of Saints” and the very non-historic teaching of “soul sleep”. Very odd.

I got laughed at here and got a Protestant Ping for a pile on because I said that my dear departed mother watches over my children.

It gave me a whole new perspective on “Christian Charity”.
